- A red open-top Mercedes-Benz was galloping on the mountain road in the middle of the mountain. The dazzling red car body appeared and disappeared on the mountain road shaded by green trees, like a fiery red dragon swimming freely in the green sea.
There was a man and a woman sitting in the car. The man was wearing a pair of brown sunglasses, a slim floral shirt, his eyebrows were raised, his mouth was unruly, and he exuded an indescribable confidence and arrogance. The woman has light brown curly hair, fair skin, and a high nose. She is a typical European beauty.
This is Li Xiaolong and his wife Linda.
The winding mountain road is lined with all kinds of flowers. The golden sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves above the head, and the mountain road is inlaid with a piece of fine gold.
Linda looked at the beautiful mountain scenery and couldn't help but admired: "Hi! Bruce, look how beautiful this mountain scenery is! If we could also have our own independent villa surrounded by such beautiful mountains, that would be How wonderful! Think about how we watch the sun rise from the sea every morning, the fiery morning glow dyes the sea water red, the waves ripple, and the blue sea and sky are all the same"
Linda was suddenly intoxicated as she fantasized about the beautiful life in a mountain villa.
While driving, Li Xiaolong looked happily at Linda, who closed her eyes and was intoxicated. Li Xiaolong didn't like the life in a forest villa that Linda fantasized about. What Li Xiaolong likes is the modern, convenient and fast life. However, Li Xiaolong did not hesitate to fulfill his wife's wishes.
Li Xiaolong stretched out a hand to hold Linda's hand and promised: "Darling, believe me, it won't take long for us to buy a villa in Mid-Levels."
In September 1971, Li Xiaolong brought his wife and children from Los Angeles, the United States, to Hong Kong to live in "Ming Tak Garden" on Waterloo Road. "Mingde Garden" was the name of a suite that Jiahe rented for Li Xiaolong's family at that time.
But now that the agreement between Li Xiaolong and Jiahe has been completed, Jiahe no longer has any obligation to help Li Xiaolong¡¯s family continue to rent an apartment. Although Jiahe didn't say anything, although Jiahe wanted Li Xiaolong and his family to continue living in Mingde Garden, Li Xiaolong was not very embarrassed to continue living in Mingde Garden. Moreover, the suite apartment in Mingde Garden is no longer suitable for Li Xiaolong's superstar status.
Li Xiaolong¡¯s family all want to move out of Mingde Garden.
Along the way, we walked along the winding mountain road. After turning around countless times, Li Xiaolong and Linda finally arrived at Wang Ben's home.
Looking at this simple, elegant and luxurious three-story mahogany villa from a distance, but exuding atmosphere inside and out, Li Xiaolong and Linda were both stunned and stunned.
"Wow! Ahu's villa is really nice! This villa must be worth a lot of money!" Li Xiaolong stopped the Mercedes-Benz, opened the door and looked at the villa carefully.
Linda also exclaimed: "How surprising! I didn't expect to see such a pure American country-style mahogany villa in Xiangjiang!"
Li Xiaolong is a person who grew up in Xiangjiang and worked hard in the United States for many years. His values ??are very realistic. He once said his wish: I, Bruce Lee, will become the highest-paid Eastern superstar in the United States. In return, I will give you the most exciting and shocking performance possible. Starting in 1970, I would gain a worldwide reputation. By 1980. I will have a fortune of 10 million US dollars. At that time, my family and I will live a happy, harmonious and happy life.
Ten million dollars!
You see how simply Li Xiaolong stated his wish for wealth, and directly stated the price of his wish.
"And Li Xiaolong knows Xiangjiang very well. He knew that the price of a mountainside villa with such a large area and an independent hilltop was absolutely astonishing. It is absolutely impossible to get it without tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
Li Xiaolong did not expect that Wang Bi could earn so much money to buy such a villa in just half a year. For a moment, Li Xiaolong was envious of Wang Ben.
Li Xiaolong murmured to himself: "Ahu is really good at making money! But buying a villa in this barren mountain is such a waste! If it were me, I would invest in buying shops in the city and rent them to others. Then I can be an apartment owner with peace of mind"
For a time, Li Xiaolong was even more optimistic about the cooperation with Wang Ben. There is also more expectation.
And when Linda saw this villa full of American country style, she seemed to have returned to the United States instantly, back to the mountains of Los Angeles, wandering among those familiar mountain villas
This familiar feeling made Linda feel full of nostalgia for the United States.
"Hi! Bruce. Wait for me. I'll come down and open the door for you."
Wang Ben leaned out of the sunroom on the third floor and shouted to Li Xiaolong and Linda downstairs.
Wang Ben walked downstairs quickly. When he passed the kitchen, he said to Zhong Zhen who was working inside: "My wife, come out. Let's go meet Bruce and the others, and introduce you to each other."
Zhong Zhen put down what she was doing and rinsed her jade hands under the faucet. Bian asked doubtfully: "Bruce? Is he the guest you invited today?"
Wang Ben smiled and said: "Yes! You also know this person, he is Li Xiaolong."
At the mention of Li Xiaolong, Zhong Zhen suddenly realized: "Oh, it's him! Who doesn't know Li Xiaolong in Xiangjiang now? The script of "Fist of Fury" you wrote for him was copied by Azhi and I!"
Zhong Zhen wiped off the water stains on her hands, then arranged her clothes and Wang Ben went out to greet Li Xiaolong and the others.
After opening the door, Wang Ben took the bottle of red wine handed over by Li Xiaolong and said with a smile: "Hi, Bruce Linda, please come in! You are welcome to be a guest. Let me introduce to you, this is my girlfriend Zhong Zhen. Zhong Zhen, This is Bruce, this is Linda!¡±
Zhong Zhen smiled and shook hands with Li Xiaolong and Linda, and spoke to Linda proficiently in English.
"Hi, linda, nicemeet!"
Listening to this standard English with a London accent, Wang Ben was surprised. He didn't know that Zhong Zhen could speak English! In Wang Ben's impression, the foreign language taught by current professors on the mainland is Russian. And English is the language of imperialism. Why can Zhong Zhen speak English?
Wang Ben glanced at Zhong Zhen doubtfully, but now was not the time to question Zhong Zhen. Wang Ben suppressed his curiosity and brought Li Xiaolong and Linda to the living room to sit down.
As soon as he sat down, Li Xiaolong couldn't wait to ask: "Ahu, is Mr. Zhou here?"
Today, Wang Ben invited Li Xiaolong and Zhou Wenhuai to his home for no other reason than to settle the matter of the new film company. Then fly to the United States immediately. Because the filming preparations for "New Dragon Inn" were about to be completed, Wang Ben didn't want to delay it any longer.
A day¡¯s delay is a day¡¯s waste of money.
There is also the matter of inviting Zheng Peipei to participate in the show that has not yet been resolved. Although Wang Bi often contacted Zheng Peipei on the phone during this period, he had basically convinced Zheng Peipei to participate in the show. But every day Wang Ben didn't sign a performance agreement with Zheng Peipei, he just felt uneasy.
On the other hand, the main location of the shooting is in the United States, so the selection of location, rental of shooting equipment, and arrangements for the crew that will follow, etc., all have to be arranged in advance.
Wang Ben smiled and said: "Not yet. Bruce, don't be impatient. The agreed time is coming soon, I believe Mr. Zhou will be there soon. Let's sit down for a cup of tea and talk about the film company. By the way. What would you like to drink? Tea or coffee?¡±
Li Xiaolong smiled and said: "Bring us a cup of tea!"
Zhong Zhen stood up and walked to the kitchen, "You guys talk, I'll make you tea."
¡°Dong dong dong¡¡±
Wang Ben knocked on the armrest of the mahogany sofa with a relaxed smile on his face, "Bruce, I guess Mr. Zhou agreed to my proposal at the celebration banquet last night. Oh, that's right. Have you ever thought about our film company?" No name?"
As soon as he said this, Li Xiaolong suddenly became elated. About this new film company. Li Xiaolong had been thinking about it for a long time. Not only was he able to think of the name of the film company, but he also designed the film company's logo.
Li Xiaolong took out a pen and paper from his pocket and started drawing on the paper excitedly. Li Xiaolong said while drawing: "Ah Hu, I have already thought of the name of the film company. It is called Concord Film Company! And this is the logo of Concord Film Company. What do you think?"
Concord Film Company? !
Wang Ben touched his chin thoughtfully and said to himself: It seems that in the last life, the film company established by Li Xiaolong was called this name. It seems that some things still cannot escape its usual rules! But I seem to have heard that Zhou Wenhuai helped come up with the name of this film company, and the implication is to assist Jiahe Hahaha Now I have to intervene. Zhou Wenhuai's plan can no longer be realized. Hum hum hum¡ I believe that this film company will be mine in the end! You, Zhou Wenhuai and Jiahe, don¡¯t even think about it!
With a few swish strokes, Li Xiaolong finished drawing the logo and handed it to Wang Ben.
Wang Ben doesn¡¯t attach much importance to this logo. Just don't be as disgusting as that sb from Shaw Brothers.
Li Xiaolong¡¯s painting skills must be good. He painted this logo with both spiritual and physical features in just a few strokes. I saw a strip of film drawn on the paper. The film twisted and meandered into an S shape, with its head and tail intersecting like a greedy snake eating its own tail.
????????? Greedy snake? !
Wang Ben frowned and wondered, thinking: There is no game like Snake yet, right? ! Could it be that Li Xiaolong
Wang Ben took the paper farther away from him and looked at it carefully.
oh! It turns out it¡¯s not a greedy snake, but the film twists and turns into a steady stream of Tai Chi symbols!
"Bruce, is this Tai Chi you drew?"
Li Xiaolong snapped his fingers and said with a triumphant smile: "Bingo! Ah Hu, you got the answer right! It's a Tai Chi sign!"
Speaking of Tai Chi, Li Xiaolong has a special liking for it.
Li Xiaolong¡¯s father, Mr. Li Haiquan, is not only a Cantonese opera master, but also has practiced Tai Chi for decades and has profound attainments in Tai Chi. Li Xiaolong was weak when he was a child, but he was very active, so Mr. Li taught Li Xiaolong Tai Chi when he was a few years old. From then on, he got out of control and practiced it for more than 20 years.
It can be seen from Li Xiaolong's martial arts notes that Tai Chi plays an extremely important role in Jeet Kune Do. Some of its theories about "Tai Chi", "Wuji" and "Yin and Yang" have gradually developed into the core theories of Jeet Kune Do. The Tai Chi diagram has also become the iconic diagram of Jeet Kune Do.
I never thought that Tai Chi would become the logo of Concord Film Company.
Li Xiaolong is very satisfied with his design. He smiled and explained the meaning of the logo to Wang Ben, "Tai Chi, what is Tai Chi? Tai Chi is the origin of all things and the foundation of everything Take the impossible as law, take the infinite as the limited Empty your cup , then it can be filled again, and nothing can be achieved"
Li Xiaolong started to talk about the meaning of Concord Film Company's logo with spittle, but as he was talking, he started to talk about his Jeet Kune Do.
Wang Ben did not stop him, and listened to Li Xiaolong's talk about Jeet Kune Do with great interest. After all, not everyone can hear Li Xiaolong talk about his Jeet Kune Do at the scene.
But Li Xiaolong himself became embarrassed as he spoke. Only now did he remember that Wang Ben was much more accomplished in martial arts than he was!
For a moment, Li Xiaolong was embarrassed and silent.
"Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong"
A pleasant doorbell sounded outside the door. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
